Abstract

Within the quantum affine algebra representation theory, we construct linear covariant operators that generate the Askey–Wilson algebra. It has the property of a coideal subalgebra, which can be interpreted as the boundary symmetry algebra of a model with quantum affine symmetry in the bulk. The generators of the Askey–Wilson algebra are implemented to construct an operator-valued K-matrix, a solution of a spectral-dependent reflection equation. We consider the open driven diffusive system where the Askey–Wilson algebra arises as a boundary symmetry and can be used for an exact solution of the model in the stationary state. We discuss the possibility of a solution beyond the stationary state on the basis of the proposed relation of the Askey–Wilson algebra to the reflection equation.
